Kansas City Star

Artist: Roger Miller (peak Billboard position # 31 in 1965)

Words and Music by Roger Miller

Got a letter just this mornin?it was postmarked Omaha

It was typed and neatly written offerin?me this better job

Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car

But I抦 on TV here locally and I can抰 quit, I抦 a star

Hah-ha I come on TV grinnin,?wearin?pistols and a hat

It抯 a kiddy show and I抦 a hero of the younger set

I抦 the number one attraction every supermarket parkin?lot

I抦 the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot

CHORUS:

Kansas City star, that抯 what I are

Yodel-deedle ay-hee, you oughta see my car

I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels, got rhinestones on the spokes

I got credit down at the grocery store

And my barber tells me jokes

I抦 the number one attraction every supermarket parkin?lot

I抦 the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot

CHORUS

SPOKEN: Stay tuned, gonna have a Popeye cartoon in a minute
